If you have sewn for a while, I am sure you have seen a piece of fabric and known exactly how you wanted to use it. When I found this fabric I knew I had the perfect pattern for it. I have used this pattern many times and I always love the results.
With the perfect fabric and pattern, I knew this was going to be the best gift for my book club friend.
This pattern is quick to put together and since I have made this one more than 5 times, it is a quick stitch together for me. I literally spend more time figuring out what fabric to use and where it is going to go in the quilt than I do cutting and stitching it together.
I used my Babylock Regent machine to machine quilt the interior pieced area of the quilt. Outlining the books on the shelves and quilting grain lines in the wood look smashing pieces.
For the border, I used my Babylock Solaris to embroider a border design. It took me a few tries to get comfortable using the border designs but now I get perfectly stitched borders each time.
I was pleased with the way this quilt turned out, and my friend was so speechless when she opened it, she had tears.
I think this one was a great success.
